The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is a frequently smart and delightful comic, and this week's issue, a zine-style anthology of stories that actually barely features Squirrel Girl herself, is no exception.

Every issue of Unbeatable Squirrel Girl opens with a credits page that is also a look into Doreen Green's social media life, as she chats with friends and fellow superheroes about her adventures.

Because of course it is. Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is nothing if not ceaselessly delightful.
Squirrel Girl is famous for one thing: Squirrels. OK, two things: squirrels and absolutely wrecking Doctor Doom in her very first appearance. Doreen Green has been tussling with Doom once more in the latest arc of Unbeatable Squirrel Girl which culminated this week with a timey-wimey throwback to that 24-year-old duel.
